Shreveport Times.
The time is not far distant when the basis
Of representation in the next Democratic
State Convention will become matter of dis
cussion. The difficulties to be encountered IN
determining the basis have not as yet fully
presented themselves, and it is best, in our
opinion, that the matter should be calmly and
quietly discussed even at this early day with
a view of arriving at some just and equitable
basis before the heat Of the campa ign for the
nomination renders wise ard calm action well
nigh impossible.
The Times has no suggestion to make furth-
er than this: Every bona fde Democratic
voter In the State must be represented, and
none other. The man who did not vote for
Blaine, the man who did not vote for McEn-
cry, the man who snlked in his tent and did
not vote the party ticket is entitled to no re-
cogniti0n in a Democratic convention. And,
moreover, those who are Denocrats on paper
only are equally nndeserving of recognition.
We must have q fair, square basis, taking IN
every Democrat, and emitting all others. In
this way only can perfect harmony and full
acquieseence in the result of the convention
be secured.

AUSTIN, November s.
The gene al trade continues dull, except in grain,
feed and provisions The wholesale business is
without animation. In dry goods the turning
loose of large retail bankrupt stock on the mar
ke has suddenly pulled down prices to actual cost,
and the business, in consequence, is depressed for
the time being. The same effect has been pro-
duced in the local retail grocery trade, by the
throwing on the market of a large trustee stock.
Altogether the retail trade of Austin Is now in the
most anomalous condition it has experienced for
several ytars-a condition satisfactory enough to
the buyer but not so to the seller. Caution is now
the word in business circles, and circumspection
1 n laying in stocks is becoming the fashion In
the meantime, the demand is only for staple goods
and articles of prime necessity
